Tony -
Power Steering hydraulic pressure is not "HP-Free" , it takes a belt to run
the Power Steering .
I just KNEW somebody would say that.
I said "free", with little annoying quote-y things that indicate that I know
it ain't really free, but the next best thing - since most of the time
(going straight ahead) the power steering system is in bypass mode and
consuming hp through the pumping losses associated with maintaining
operating pressure in the restrictive closed system. Lexus claimed that the
hydraulic fan consumes much less hp than an electric, and is much quieter
too.
